? She disguised herself to uncover the world... and found her true self instead. ?
THE BINDED BOTANIST by Ruby Cielo is an unforgettable tale inspired by the extraordinary life of Jeanne Baret, the first woman to circumnavigate the globe—disguised as a man. Part sweeping historical adventure, part intimate portrait of resilience, this evocative novel reimagines Baret's journey through fragrant jungles and treacherous seas, tangled vines and tangled lies. As she collects botanical specimens for science under the guise of a man, Jeanne's greatest discovery may be the freedom that blooms when you no longer hide who you are.
? For readers who revel in hidden histories, bold women, and the wild call of distant shores. ?
